You are correct. I love the looks of the wide tire, but I understand that not all the width of the tire is in contact due to the distortion you refer to. The other reason I went with this tire size is that it is the same diameter as the 245s in front. I didn't want different diameters in front and back. Unfortunately, there were no many other options in smaller width. The 275s are taller than the 245s.You can mount a tire that is too wide for the rim. When you do, the sidewall is distorted outward causing it to be less than fully supported. It also decreases the overall contact patch as well as making the tire's effective diameter smaller and section width larger. It depends on what you want to do with the car. If you wanted to run the car on a road course I'd limit tire width to 225. If you just want the look of a bigger tire you can physically mount a larger tire. Chuck
